HOW THE BODY WEARS OUT.
Instructive Lecture Mt Temperance Hall
by DIR. A, j. willard.

The ladies who came out to DR.. A. J.
Wizards lecture at Temperance Hall,
were amply compensated. The lecture
was exceedingly practical. DR.. Willard
said it is not generally understood that
the whole body is undergoing disintegra-
ton, and must stop working for repairs.
Taking a hearty meal at night is hazard
Gus. The various functions of life cannot
be carried on without appropriate rest.
Naturally the heart beats and rests, but
by giving it undue excitement, taking
stimulants or narcotics, alcohol or opium
1t is deprived of this rest, and wears out
quicker. Mental work causes waste of
tissue jast as much rs physical labor. 1t
is more exhaustiDg to work the brain all
night than to work the body all night
We should avoid all exciting thoughts If
we wish to encourage sleep.
DIR. Willard spoke of the alarming in
crease OF brain and nerve diseases and
emphasized the Importance of regular
and sufficient sleep.
Ordinarily, nature asserts herself aud
sleep comes of her own accord. This
should not be abruptly brought to a close
II is an act of cruelty to wake a child by Il
violent shake. When healthy nature has
had enough she will wake up.
No exact rule can be laid down as to
hours of sleep. Each person should take
AS much as the case requires and not be
laughed or cheated out of it, He pleaded
for better sleeping accommodations and
good pure air. Ventilation, too large a
subject for him to discuss now. Florence
Nightingale had exploded the theory that
night air is injurious. IL we do not
breathe night air what shall we breathe 2
The old-fashioned box bedroom should be
abolished and the sleeping room sh ould
be cOmmodious, even if we have to take
the parlor for it.
The worries of life more than its worth.
We must east all our care upon Him for
so He giveth His beloved sleep"

meeting of the local G. A. r. he explained
his connection with the matter. Resolu-
tons were adopted endorsing his action

never would invite the president to attend

Cleveland to see that he cannot expect to be

vetoes of ll9 pension bills, in which,
with satanic glee. he so grossly nsulted every
Union soldier. and 1T would seem to us he
should have sufficient self-respect not to at
tempt to crowd himself before the gaze of

Grand Army of the Republic to obtain an

Mrs. william a. wheeler.
Washington Despatch.


Mr.. Wheelers wife died in Washington
early in 1876 She was tall, fine looking
woman, without the appearance OF in
validism, but in reality was a sufferer for
many years from the encroachments of
the disease which ended her life. She was
Mary King, 10.year old pupil in the first
school taught by Mr.. Wheeler. When she
became 10 they were married. They were
childless. Their devotion to each other
WAS beyond the ordinary. She obtained
his promise never to marry again should
he survive her, and though he was once
engaged during his widowerhood, con-
stancy at last triumphed and the engage
ment was dissolved. This was regretted
by many of his friends, for he was pecu-
liarly domestic, and it was grim fate to
him to sit alone at his table and fireside.
do you think my husband stern-look-
ing man ?" Mrs. Wheeler once inquired
of a fellow boarder just before her last
illness.
mo, not stern only grave" was the
reply.
~ suppose can hardly, Judge how he
appears to Others" said Mrs. Wheeler,
but in the 80 years of our married life
his face has never once been turned to-
ward me but with a smile"
Mr.. and Mrs Wheeler attended the
New York avenue Presbyterian church.
He was always one OF the first Congress
men to arrive for the opening of the ses
sion, and his greetings to those who came
later are among the things pleasingly re-
membered. Mrs. Wheeler used to accom-
pany him and remain till the close of the
session, however prOtracted. After her
death he left his seat in Congress and was
still at home when the convention nomi-
mated him for vice-president In this he
apparently took little interest and made
no reply to the kilograms OF congratIla-
ton from fellow members, though it EN-
braced such men as Gen. Logan, Senator
Angus Cameron, Representative NOW
Senator) Farwell and ex-Gov. Carpenter,
of Iowa.
When he came back as vice president he
morbidly avoided the house associated
with his deceased wife's memory. Mr..
Wheeler's habits of life in Washington
were almost as austerely simple as Henry
Wilson's. But ne was not penurious
man. The beneficiaries Of his purse were
many. He was not happy in the inactivi-
ty of the vice presidential office.
Mr.. Wheeler's palmy days here were
during his last two terms but one in the
house of representatives, when he formed
one of the little group of Congressional
leaders, embracing Garfield, Charles Eos
ter, Farwell McCrary of Iowa, and two
or three others. Mr. Wheeler was the
only member who, when temporarily
called to the speakers chair, could main
tain as good order in the house as Speaker
Blaine. He had a natural genius for pre-
siding over parliamentary bodies, and his
silver-sray hair, clean-cut profile and dig
nitied bearing made him an impressive
figure in the chair of either house.
